Joomla vs E107

Which of these cms is the best SEO friendly? Joomla vs E107

 

e107 developers are adamant that URLs have nothing to do with SEO and so have no desire to work on that.

If you want SEO URLs and you're choosing between those two, Joomla (with something like OpenSEF) is your only option.

 

Joomla is the best out now! Best templates and best mods. Use sh404 for seo urls and you'll be set

 

I think most people (99%) would point you to joomla.

 

well i like e107 .. it was more user friendly for me ..

 

I don't doubt that you found it more user friendly (I didn't, but I know plenty of people that did) but you can't deny the answer for the question. That is to say, you have to agree that if you want SEO, you don't want e107!

 

I am using Joomla and find it somewhat SEO friendly and I'm satisfied with it. Joomla has more expansion modules than e107.

 

e107 developers dont say pretty urls are to be ignored. They actually look at it. There is a nice hack for the forum, and work-arounds for the core system. Mostly based on this.

Anyway, I'm using e107 for a larger website, and there aren't problems ranking well. But Joomla is just as good.

 

"Hacks" and "work-arounds" show that the USERS are looking at it, not the developers. If the developers were looking at it, there wouldn't be a need for hacks and work-arounds.

Zaphod and I go way back (IRL... I don't like to take TOO much credit but I did make him look at that htaccess file to begin with) and I know how much pain he went through trying to get the developers to do something about it. Now admittedly the developers' thoughts may have changed, but when you keep seeing comments like "SEF is not about URLs, it's about CONTENT" then you kind of get the feeling that it's not on their list of priorities.

 

well i used e107 .. maybe it is not good for SEO .. but it looks better to me then joomla

 

Joomla is the best. You have alot of expansion possibilities with this CMS. there's alot extension and templates available. I used sh404 for seo urls

 

forget all other cms. just go to joomla

 

Stick with Joomla.

 

I will surely go with Joomla.
Its the best i have found, atleast far better than E107...

 

Joomla is much better and the openSEF extension makes it easy to optimize each page for target keywords.

 

Perhaps worth mentioning - there are 2 SEO extenstions mentioned in this thread for Joomla. The problem with using one over the other is that other Joomla extensions will work with one of the SEO extensions and not the other. As you can imagine, this is certainly not something you'd want to discover once you have setup a site with all the extensions you require.

 

Good point. You definitely don't want to have multiple SEO extensions published at the same time.

 

Have some goods seo extensions for Joomla, for instance OPEN SEF, sh404SEF, JoomPatch, Artio etc. You can find their on extensions.joomla.org. OPEN SEF (at the moment called NuSEF) is good for SEO, but unfortunately it isn't being supported by developers. However many users use this component because it is really good extension.

 

I like joomla as it has many add ons. Always good to test them out on a test site first rather than your live site. Hope that helps abit.

I run joomla, extremely noce CMS but unfortunately one has to wait for the outcome of the 1.5 stable version, currently, everyone is waiting for that, to unleash all pending projects still stuck to 1.0.13
